Focus and Scope
JERMA is a rigorously peer-reviewed journal that exclusively publishes review-based research in education. The journal does not accept primary empirical studies (e.g., single-case studies, field surveys, small-scale experiments, or qualitative fieldwork) nor opinion pieces that lack a systematic and structured synthesis framework. JERMA encompasses all areas of education across all levels—from early childhood, primary, and secondary education to higher education and lifelong learning. Specific domains include, but are not limited to:
- Curriculum, Instruction, and Pedagogy
- Educational Assessment, Evaluation, and Psychometrics
- Educational Policy, Leadership, and Institutional Governance
- Educational Technology, Digital Learning, and Artificial Intelligence (AI) in Education
- Learning Sciences and Cognitive Development
- Teacher Education and Professional Development
- Inclusive, Special, and Equity-Focused Education
- Comparative and International Education
- STEM Education (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics)
- Language and Literacy Education
